    Drove seafoamed enine without oil cap

    I have a 2000 Saturn SC2 that I bought new for Daughter to drive. Always kept the maintenance up by the book, oil change every 3k mi.. It started using oil at around the 75k mark. We kept driving it for a while, just keeping the oil topped up. I was ready to trade it off when I read about the...

    I bit the bullet and ordered some Cermet.

    Some of my colleagues in the Steel industry have used this product successfully in gearboxes and swear by it. I have seen it demonstrated at a conference. It seems to work the same way as the ceramet. http://www.rewitec.com/oe2edit/?site=002001001&language=en

    .41 Magnum back?

    I have a Blackhawk like Turbolovers, tho not nearly in as good a shape as his. It's been my under-the-truck-seat pistol for 20 years or so. I chose it over the .44 Super Blackhawk due to it's size is considerably smaller but the power difference is not that much. I have taken several deer, a...

I thought something was wrong with the truck and took it in to the dealer. They could find nothing wrong. Now that...

    New truck!

    About a month ago I purchased a new 2008 Nissan Frontier 4.0L V-6. Last week it rolled over 3400 mi. so I decided I would change the oil. I grabbed a sample as I drained the oil and sent it off for testing. This is the engine oil that came from the factory which is 5w-30 I assume?? The lab...

    Nissan ATF?

    Uh-oh! Guess I will dump it out and run dino for a while longer. On another note, I have been fanatical about fuel economy with this truck. Every drop of gas run thru it has been part of a mpg calc. I drive the same weekly route of 400 miles so I fill up at the same gas pumps, etc. The best I...

    Nissan ATF?

    Thanks for all the advice. I just dumped out the OEM engine oil and replaced it with M1 and a Pureone filter. I saved a sample of the OEM oil and the original filter so I will send them to the lab I use at work for industrial gear and hydraulic oil sampling. I think I will do this sampling each...
